Your Dog’s Caring Walking Buddy
Dogs bring me so much joy, and I genuinely enjoy learning their individual personalities and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Through volunteering with an animal rescue organization in Calgary, I have cared for and interacted with dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I received training in safe dog handling, maintaining a clean and comfortable shelter environment, and using basic verbal cues and hand signals. I also gained experience building trust with dogs through patience, positive interactions, and clear directions, including practising basic cues such as “sit.” During walks, I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding pace, route, behaviour around other dogs, and any individual needs. I provide time for exercise, sniffing, and bathroom breaks, and I send plenty of photos and detailed updates so you always know how your dog is doing.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priorities. Before our first booking, I would love to arrange a meet and greet to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, walking equipment, triggers, medical needs, and behaviour around people and other animals. During walks, I keep the leash secure, remain attentive to traffic and our surroundings, and follow your instructions about interacting with unfamiliar dogs or people. I will never force an interaction that makes your pet uncomfortable. After each visit, I’ll send photos and a detailed update about the walk, your pet’s mood and energy, bathroom breaks, and anything unusual I notice.

Schedule
I keep my Rover calendar updated and only accept bookings when I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to discuss timing in advance and establish a dependable routine for recurring bookings.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsShiyu can host up to 1 drop-in per day
- Please let me know about your pet’s usual routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications or special needs, and anything that makes them nervous or uncomfortable. I’d also like to know how they behave around other dogs, strangers, and during walks, including any triggers or leash reactivity. The more I know about them, the better I can make them feel safe and comfortable!
